Reviews
Throughout his work, Shlossberg rejects conventional approaches to contemporary Indigenous expressive and material culture, which tend to engage with Indigenous performers and artists as if they were not producers of knowledge in their own right. Instead,...Shlossberg [centers] the voices of Indigenous mask makers and performers. He treats them not just as subjects of study but as guardians of artistic, intellectual, and spiritual praxis crucial for the survival of ancestral knowledge and producers of vital material, embodied, and expressive Indigenous culture in contemporary Mexico.

Synopsis
This visually stunning book reframes how Mexican folk masks and dances are depicted, by centering the voices of local and Indigenous artists, dancers, and scholars., Rebalancing and reframing how Mexican folk dances and masks have historically been depicted, Dancing with Life takes a collaborative and participatory approach to center the voices of artists, dancers, and other community members involved in sculpting masks and performing the danzas . This book aims to address the imbalance in how Mexican danzas are routinely portrayed and discuss how contemporary Mexican culture and issues are incorporated into the styling and uses of the masks. While commercialization is commonly viewed as a threat to the masking customs, this book also describes the impacts of other, more urgent threats, such as land enclosures, environmental degradation, and industrial agriculture. Dancing with Life includes contributions from scholars who are members of the Purepecha Indigenous communities and interviews with artists presented in both English and Spanish to preserve the original voices of these creators. Stunning new photography shows these artists in their own studios and highlights the beauty and variety of the masks themselves.
